Vapoware?

[gnimmelf]

I'm confused by the Example -warning in the readme:

Warning: Vaporware. The virtual-dom is not implemented yet.

What do you mean?

[Raynos]

It means the README hasn't been written yet and was copy pasted directly out of my gist https://gist.github.com/Raynos/8414846

@Matt-Esch we should update the README :)

[Matt-Esch]

Yeah, we really need proper docs, starting with a valid README. I think we're at a point where we can nail down the features. Mainly, that means disclaimer, it's not tested nearly as much as I would like, subject to changes and has not been proved in the non-trivial case. Just as we found that reordering was completely wrong after testing Raynos/mercury#2048-wip, what needs to happen is a full rearrangement of the modules here, tests for the individual units and a bunch of integration tests at the virtual-dom level. Proper docs so we actually know how all the mechanisms work is a must and upcoming feature.

In short, it was added when the functions didn't exist, and it's currently acting as a disclaimer to warn that this is volatile. The README is out of date, not all of the functions documented exist and there are a number of internal things that are not mentioned at all. Thunks, widgets, hooks etc.

I'll bump this up in my priority list.

I'm interested in this project and may have some time to contribute if missing things are listed clearly. :)

[gnimmelf]

Bump. I would also like to contribute, but need to be spoon fed tasks :-)

also, you may be interested in the mercury project that pulls together this piece and a number of other related pieces into a "framework"

Interesting stuff, thanks! I'll follow both and get updates, and hopefully jump in to help out if I can find some time!
